Cool small features in Emacs 30 that I really like:
- If you have ever tried to create a custom modeline, you may have discovered that right-aligning elements was a massive pain. Emacs 30 adds a new modeline element
mode-line-format-right-alignwhich makes all subsequent elements inmode-line-formatright-aligned. - When Emacs prompts you about recovering an auto-save file, you can now press
=to show a diff between the buffer and auto-save. No more guessing whether you had done anything important. Ein dired opens a file with the default program for that file type (via xdg-open or OS equivalent).

Personally, I flip
:deferaround by settinguse-package-always-deferand:demanding packages that I want loaded at startup.
